A huge fire destroyed one of Glasgow's historic buildings this weekend. Now a big debate has started: what should replace it? Some people say historic buildings are beautiful but hard and expensive to convert to modern standards. They can be energy-inefficient and difficult to make accessible. Others argue modern buildings are boring and soulless compared to the bold architecture of the industrial era. So what do you think—protect historic character or build modern and sustainable? Let me know in the comments.
